Gym

So today is going to be the first day of me going to the gym in a long time.  I used to love going to the gym but for some reason I am a little nervous about going.  I am doing this program developed by J and I am actually a week behind.  Last week I would say I did about 10% on the program (if that).  This week I am hoping to do 100%  I want to be spot on with the eating and get all my workouts in.  I am trying to determine which ones I can do at home and which ones I will need the gym for.  I guess even if I can't do many at home I could make some changes to gear it towards being done at home.

I have just over 2 weeks til a wedding and I want my dress to fit on better then when I bought it.  I started eating better on saturday which is exactly 2 weeks til the big day.  The next big event after that will be boots & hearts and then my trip down east.  I would love to have 15-20 lbs off by then.  I know I can if I am really good.  I know that drinking will be involved in the 2 events I have coming up but as long as the workouts and the eating are ok I should be ok.

Well I must get going to the gym before I back out.

intentions

I always intend to start a new blog but I always end up coming back to this one ;)

My bootcamp instructor is doing a nutrition/workout program again but this one has more accountability to her so of course I signed up for it.  I have been having such a hard time getting back on track and getting back into my exercise grove.  I had so much to eat yesterday that my stomach is still quite sore from what I put in it.  I was feeling pretty down but I went for a nice long, brisk walk (just over 6K) and it made me feel so much better.  I have been spot on with my eating today and hope I don't sabotage things this evening.  I have a snack planned out and I will do my best to tidy of the kitchen which will pass some time and maybe even enough til i can have my snack :)

My plan is to go to bed early and get up so I can do a 3K run tomorrow and sat before going to work.  I always feel so much better when exercise is in my life.

I can't wait to get started on the program that J is developing for me.  I will do it this time!!

Feeling Great

So it has been 2 weeks since i have started to eat health (mostly clean foods) and no diet coke.  I feel the best I have in a long time.  I still need to work on my exercise though but it is coming.  I did PT on monday and went for a 4.8k run today (a day after my oral surgery…the run took a lot out of me).

I just need to stay motivated to continue this past he 40 days.  I am sure by that time things will become more of a habit.  I will have a few events during these 40 days but I just need to make smart choices.  The majority of them will involve drinking so I need to go easy on the booze.  I just want a nice buzz, not have my head in the toilet.  I am so done with that foolishness!!!!

Trying to figure out what to do for my husbands 40th bday party is really stressing me out.  If the grill does not work out I will just have an open style here at the house.  I am still waiting to hear back from the legion here in caledonia though.  Hope they get back to me soon.

I can't wait for summer to get here.  The roads were a bit slippery when I went for my run this morning.  It will be nice not to have to worry about that.  I need to get out and get my training started for my half marathon on June 1st.  I do have a training plan for 10 weeks that I printed on line  I just need to follow it to a T no matter what.

I asked my beach body coach about my 21 day fix package.  she is keeping track of it and says it hasn't been sent yet.  I would love to have another 10 lbs off before they sent it.  I know what my healthy/happy weight is and I want to reach that again.  I felt so healthy and happy when I reached it before.  I just feel back into old habits and put a lot back on.  so not worth it and will do my best not to do it again.

have a great wednesday

New Blog in the New Year

I am thinking of starting a new blog for 2014.  It is going to be about my journey to becoming clean in 2014.  I need to do this for my sanity and for my family.  I am just so miserable when I don't eat healthy and when I don't exercise everyday.  I am training for 2 races in March which hopefully will help with the running part of things.  I do need to start doing the mini bootcamps again.  I need to do this at least 3x/week.  I can do it in my own house which should not be hard. 

I really need to get my shit together too when it comes to finances and my house.  We will be having a house cleaner come in 1/week to do some basic cleaning (wash floors, clean bathroom, vacuum etc).  This person is helping us out with our son as he is changing schools so this way she does that and cleans my house (will make some money from doing both).  It actually will be nice to have someone do this for me and maybe overall I will keep my house much more tidy then it has been. 

I know that we need to purge too in this house.  We need to just take a day or too and just do it.  We have so much stuff in this house that we don't use that I don't get why we are keeping it.  I am pretty sure that we will participate in the town wide yard sale this year.  We have quite a few toys that I would like to get rid of. 

I have a team dinner tonight at the Keg.  I have a dd so I will enjoy a couple of glasses of wine :)

New Year

I can't believe how quickly this year has gone.  Yesterday I did ok getting back on track.  I wasn't perfect but I did ok.  I am hoping for a better day today.  I have a couple of appts today which kind of ruined my day in a way.  The 1st apt is waxing though and I must admit I am always a happy girl when this is done :)

I need to make sure to get a couple of meals done for my 2 days at work.  Really all I need to figure out is what to have for my lunches.  Breakfast and supper are pretty easy.

not much else to report.  My hamstring is pretty sore so I am hoping my run tomorrow will be ok.  I will do my best to get up early to run.  I actually loved running yesterday morning really early.  It is nice to have it done.

ENOUGH with the excuses

once again I have not been doing very good with getting myself on track.  when I follow a healthy diet I feel amazing, when I don't I feel awful.  Why would one do something that makes them feel awful.  It does not make any sense to me at all.

I am going to do my best to stay on track for the remainder of December and start the new year off at a healthier weight then I am right now.  Plus I am going to start training for my half marathon and 30K race in March.  Can't put off the exercise and eating healthy any longer.

Today started off good with an 11K run.  Wasn't done at a time I would have liked but I am happy to say that I actually did 11K.  On Saturday I want to get 14K in.  I do have that 10 miler on boxing day and want to be somewhat prepared for it.

Restart

I am not sure exactly what happened this week but I am doing a restart of my week 1 of the SFL cleanse.  I just lost my focus.  I think it may have been because I was having some issues with a lump on the roof of my mouth.  I am pretty sure it is an abcess.  For about 4 days it was so painful.  I went to the dentist on Monday morning and he put me on antibiotics and I have another appt with him tomorrow.  I need to stop focusing on the fact that I did not do well and make up for it by getting back on track.  This means plan my weekly menu with the meal ideas on the list and preparing them in advance.

I had not run for 5 days either.  I can't remember the last time I went that long without running.  I did 4k today and it was hard.  I need to get my act together since I am doing a 10 mile race on Dec 26th.  I MUST run 10K on Saturday!!!!!!

I can't believe that Christmas is almost here.  I need to start making lists of cmas presents and do some deep house cleaning.  I actually would like to have people over during the holidays this year which might happen since I have 5 days off between cmas and new years.

well I should be going now.  I need to get that menu made and a grocery list done up.
